Week of 9/7 - 9/11: Students are working hard on their narrative story-writing projects: using their knowledged of narrative elements - particularly action/plot, interior monologue, dialogue, exposition, and description/figurative language (sensory imagery, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, etc.). to create moral-based children's books which the students are currently writing, illustrating, and will eventually share with our own Anchorage Littles! And, as usual, on Friday we will continue our work reading 3 different genres and working toward answering our Great Reading Project Question: How does understanding others help us build our own world view?
Because of the short week, we do not have a new grammar focus this week. However, the students WILL have a vocab quiz over the last 3 week's vocab words on Friday 9/11.

Unit 1: Thinking Like a Historian & The Fall of Rome
Students will begin the year learning how historians investigate by reviewing the foundations of a civilization: geography, religion, achievements, politics, and social structure. They will put these skills into practice as they explore the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Throughout the unit, students will discover that major historical events rarely have a single cause and will use evidence to develop and support their own conclusions. These foundational historical-thinking skills will be used throughout the year as students investigate civilizations and societies around the world.
